LINKEDIN TRAINING
FOR WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND UI STAFF
No cost LinkedIn trainings are available! These trainings focus exclusively on the free features within LinkedIn. There are four trainings offered starting the week of February 24, 2020.
This session shows counselors how they can work with their clients to optimize their profiles and LinkedIn usage to increase the likelihood they will show up in a recruiter's LinkedIn search.
This training focuses on the various network building functionalities within the platform, including groups, messages, and people search. Like our other trainings, it helps build counselors’ confidence in and comfort with LinkedIn, which will make them more effective trainers when they help their clients use LinkedIn. This session is not train-the-trainer.
LinkedIn hosts will debunk or confirm some of the most common myths we’ve heard about the platform.
